Additionally, in a private placement to occur concurrently with the public offering, Elon Musk, Tesla’s Chief Executive Officer and Cofounder, plans to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock directly from Tesla at the public offering price and Blackstar Investco LLC, an affiliate of Daimler AG, plans to purchase up to approximately 644,475 shares of common stock directly from Tesla at the public offering price.

Goldman, Sachs & Co. is acting as sole book-running manager for the public offering.

Lining up ducks for the M&A battle ahead. Elon wants a final say. Toyota and Daimler are the competing suitors.
